Anyone have any tips for the canon photo editing software?

I took these photos this morning with my new 350 and was trying out the software it comes with and just wanted some input or tips? One tip imperticular, how to resize down to the POTM contest

 I wish I could help you out, I use CS and am not familiar with the Canon software.

Get rid of it and get something that works better. Lots of choices out there.

I can't help you with the canon software, I use Lightroom. Best investment in my limited photography experience yet.

I think it runs about $145, but if you have a kid in school (or know someone that does), go through an educational software outlet like /www.journeyed.com/.  It's < $80.

 We have a cannon Rebel eos and I usually use windows  Photo gallery,open"paint" and resize there. Never could find it in the cannon software

There are also some very good FREEWARE programs out there... GIMP is probably the best of these.  Works very similar to Photoshop.... and it is free....

Picasa is another good Free software for editing!

Perfect David! That's exactly how I would have edited the photo for brightness! It's such a Beautiful Flower photo that it deserves a little fine tuning to make it Spectacular!

Thanks. Thats good to hear. I have been getting a lot better at my editing. I hope he doesn't mind I was a little bored.

Per the canon guys you want to use the canon photo pro software in your initial raw workflow.   canon does not share their algorithms with adobe etc.   
The comment was that the canon software will do a cleaner job sharpening, exposure editing etc.  (personally I think the HDR in photo pro does a better job)
Lightroom is good for cataloging and doing batch edits, and cs5 for working with individual pictures, and elements is a light version of cs5.

I use CS for everything, including RAW worklow, its excellent.
